@schadjoe The mobile QB dilemma always comes back to the backup and how comfortable the offense is with him. Mobile QBs have a higher risk of injury, but the payoff is there when everything clicks.

[Daniel @Oscar_Daniel_CG]

@SiClancy @ckparrot Offense was coming along, but the real test starts in these 4 weeks when a young/no experience QB takes over. How he plays might change the Sully approach QBs next year(one must be added) or if staff might need certain changes on the offensive side of the ball

[Daniel @Oscar_Daniel_CG]

@SiClancy @ckparrot And it applies to both sides of the ball. I don’t think it was a coincidence that Miami hired Hafley, who only had HC experience in college when there were other candidates. In the small sample we have seen, defense has developed nicely with mostly rookies, young leftover talent

[Daniel @Oscar_Daniel_CG]

@SiClancy @ckparrot Deciding between a project QB who needs developing, a close to finish product or an already established QB is a question he will asks himself on draft day/Free agency start day. It will show how much trust he has in his staff on each side of the ball.

[Daniel @Oscar_Daniel_CG]

@ckparrot @SiClancy Next year, the true evaluation starts. Trying to figure out if a QB is the one in this specific situation is disrespectful for everyone involved because everyone lacks preparation time. It also applies to McCord(he’s even in a worse position since he was planning for GB season)

[Daniel @Oscar_Daniel_CG]

@ckparrot @SiClancy Evaluation, for everyone involved, starts next year when they can build the team they want, not the team they could have with all the financial limitations. Even rookies can’t be evaluated properly since they have been in Miami for 6 months without a full NFL offseason

[Daniel @Oscar_Daniel_CG]

@OmarKelly Allowing Willis to heal while McCord shows what he has and if he’s capable enough to be a backup in the league is an important thing to do for Miami. McCord has had enough time to learn the playbook. How WR adjust to a new QB is also important knowing that they’re mostly rookies

[Daniel @Oscar_Daniel_CG]

@JJthePhinsFan @NealDriscoll I wanted Slowik to call more RPO but today he called one and Dulcich ended tripping with a teammate which might be one of the reasons why he doesn’t use them very often. He needs better players and chemistry between them for the offense to work

[Daniel @Oscar_Daniel_CG]

@JJthePhinsFan @NealDriscoll He was calling bad pass plays early in the season, but he has corrected the way. He likes to attack weaknesses and play calling goes against logic(which is possible because Miami isn’t playing to win a bunch of games).

[Daniel @Oscar_Daniel_CG]

@OmarKelly Against Miami’s HC who has studied 4 times in the last couple of years because he was with GB.

[Daniel @Oscar_Daniel_CG]

@thephinsider Hafley has prepared for this Lions a couple of years in a row with GB. He knows what’s coming

[Daniel @Oscar_Daniel_CG]

@DanteCollinelli Chemistry has been developed and Uche/Chop are earning juicy extensions. Consistency and health until the end of the year is still required, but the shades of a good pass rush duo is there

[Daniel @Oscar_Daniel_CG]

@flasportsbuzz Early in games, it sets a precedent and forces the opponent to second guess next time a similar situation arises. Probably doesn’t make sense right now, but later on DC will have to keep a LB in the area in case of a run play

[Daniel @Oscar_Daniel_CG]

@phillipdilling1 There was a time when he played Guard that played ok, but since the moment he was drafted, I never saw anything more than a project with a poor technique. He has been better than I thought he was going to be, but still not good enough

[Daniel @Oscar_Daniel_CG]

@DavidFurones_ This is one of the most important things in football. 3rd down is a critical situation, and being able to make those shows the abilities of the OC and team around him. Red Zone is where I think Slowik has to work the most now. But he has evolved positively

[Daniel @Oscar_Daniel_CG]

@TheListFinsPod Sieler value skyrocketed because Jags are pushing for SB. A 3Rd projects as a high 4Rd and that would get a deal done with a soon to be 32 year old DT

[Daniel @Oscar_Daniel_CG]

@PoupartNFL Miami is depleted. 13 active rookies, a bunch of waiver wire claims, star RB out for the year, 1st Rd OL in concussion protocol.

[Daniel @Oscar_Daniel_CG]

@HussamPatel This is how the Packers model work. A player who needs development, gets drafted and waits until the starter goes away/losses his spot/gets injured. Sellers is a project with similar abilities to Cam Newton but less polished.

[Daniel @Oscar_Daniel_CG]

@schadjoe Risky but it’s understandable given the situation. They see 3rd& short/medium as a pass/run situation, that creates havoc since teams are used to see pass plays in those. You can’t pinpoint what exactly they’ll do and that’s good but risky because heavy blitz can catch them up
